Kurban

27.11.09 : Avantika is a teacher in a university in Delhi. She
has come back from New York where she teaches, because her
father has suffered a heart attack. During this period, she
meets a temporary Professor called Ehsaan Khan. Soon they
begin seeing each other and love blossoms. A few months later,
Avantika receives a call from her university in New York,
asking her to come back for the Fall Semester. Avantika breaks
the news to Ehsaan. He in turn, tells her he doesn't mind
coming to the States with her, to find a job. But first they
need to get married.
Soon after the marriage, they leave to start a new life in New
York. They buy a house in an Indian neighbourhood and move in.
Just as they are setting up home, their conservative Muslim
neighbours, Hamid and Anjum, invite them over for dinner. The
next morning, Salma, one of the women Avantika met the night
before at the dinner, visits her under the pretext of gifting
her sweets. When Avantika invites her in, Salma tells her that
she is in grave danger. Nothing is what it seems. Salma pleads
with Avantika to help her. What follows next, is a series of
incidents that sucks Avantika into a vortex of danger and
intrigue. As her life spirals out of control, Avantika
realizes that she is a pawn in a huge game. And no one is to
be trusted.
